Introduction Food, Water and Energy under pressure More and more people are becoming aware that the growing scarcity of water, food and energy is set to be the biggest crisis of the decades to come. We need to ensure food, water and energy security, but there are hazards on all sides. In the decades to 2050 the world population is set to mushroom to nine billion. Taking into account global urbanisation and rising standards of living in large parts of the world this will put an enormous strain on existing resources. Water consumption is set to rise by at least 30 percent, while the demand for food and energy will jump some 50 percent. Faced with these challenges, a ‘business as usual’ scenario is hopelessly inadequate. In order to survive, a drastic, worldwide switch to sustainable production and consumption is inevitable. The challenge we face is to maximise efficiency and sustainability. Why Water and Energy projects make sense If we want to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels we cannot afford to rule out any single source of renewable energy. Using water as an energy resource too, is desperately needed despite its inherent difficulties – and there is a lot of energy in water. The trick is to utilise it without making scarce water even scarcer and to harmonise plural use of water resources. With its roots in a country where plural use of water resources led to it being used as an ‘organising’ principle, Royal HaskoningDHV not only has 130 years of world-class technical expertise but also the institutional and financial expertise to facilitate Water Infrastructure projects in general and Water and Energy projects in particular. Such skills have proven of tremendous added value for creating the optimal conditions for sustainable and commercially successful Water and Energy projects around the world that help address the global water, energy and food crises. .

Big > 10,000 1.2 Hydropower Diversity Runoff-River HPP Finding their way down from their wells, rivers continue to grow and gain more and more energy. Nowadays, this energy can efficiently be captured and converted into electricity to power households, communities and industries. The harnessing of this electrical power from In this context, hydropower accounts for more than 50% a river flow can be established in two different ways; of the total renewable energy, with the potential to grow using the head or the speed of the water flow. It may considerably. The biggest advantages of hydropower involve a short-term storage but it is generally driven by are that the operational costs are low compared to the natural river flow conditions. fossil fuel technologies and, hydropower is more reliable and predictable when compared with wind and Reservoir HPP solar power. These advantages also apply to other technologies available to produce energy from water, such as tidal energy, wave energy or blue energy. Hydropower is generally defined as ‘power derived from the energy of falling water’ and uses a hydropower plant (HPP) to produce electricity from this power. These can be classified as follows: Runoff-river (RoR) HPP; Reservoir (or storage) HPP; and Pumped Storage Plants. Hydropower is one of the most cost-effective and reliable technologies to be considered for providing renewable energy generation. It has the following Water is stored in a reservoir, mostly created artificially advantages: by building a dam, to produce electricity in a HPP. Most of these reservoirs serve multi purposes, such as High efficiency compared with other renewable flood reduction or water supply. These reservoirs energy sources; Hydropower & Dams © Royal HaskoningDHV 5
Introduction provide flexibility in providing electricity, not depending on daily or seasonal fluctuations of river flow. Pumped Storage Plants Electricity can be stored in water using height differences. In mountainous regions, this seems a very natural condition of which to take advantage. Using electricity, water is pumped to higher reservoirs to store the energy it creates. In a modified (reversed) form, the system can be used to generate electricity (by means of turbines). Often the situation is that a surplus of water is stored at night-time which can be used to produce energy during the day. In the Netherlands an option is 1.4 Added value by Royal HaskoningDHV considered to develop a pumped storage scheme We are experienced Water and Energy experts. where the lower basin is situated more than a thousand Royal HaskoningDHV has the combined expertise meters underground. required for all stages of the project lifecycle under a 1.3 Other Forms of Energy from Water single roof.

Introduction 1.5.5 Specific skills Royal HaskoningDHV has gained extensive experience in our own hydraulic laboratory in Wloclawek (Poland). Fish Migration In this laboratory, designs of more than ten plants have Fish migration is an important issue in the development been extensively tested. Test results demonstrate that, of hydropower projects. The installation of a starting from a plant design based on conventional hydropower plant should not have a negative impact on wisdom and state-of-the art expertise, physical models the fish. can result in efficiency improvements in plant capacities of up to 10-15%. In each design, our experts try to find the optimal solution regarding fish migration, giving preference to fish friendly equipment and / or optimal passage systems combined with fences at the location of the intakes. In general several options regarding fish migration can be applied, going from fish bypasses to more technical solutions such as a siphon trap or a fish elevator. Natural bypasses are the optimal solutions from an environmental point of view, but the safe passage needs a continuous flow which cannot be applied for the generation of green electricity. Optimisation of hydraulic design A crucial part in the design of a hydropower plant is its hydraulic design and the configuration of its inlets and outlets. These configurations determine to a large extent how the potential energy stored in water is best utilised for the production of electric energy. The highest rate of effective utilisation is obtained when under all circumstances the water flow is optimally distributed over all turbines of a plant. This is done in proportion to the installed turbine capacities, while at the same time excluding any obstructions to the flow in the outlet structures. Traditionally, the hydraulic design of a hydropower plant is tested and optimised in a physical model applying various physical configurations in the process of optimisation. All hydraulic structures: inlets, outlets and the power house are built to scale in a hydraulic laboratory. In a series of tests, the design is gradually optimised. Testing of a design in a physical model is an accurate way to determine its potential efficiency. Furthermore, it provides an opportunity to improve the design by streamlining the inlet and outlet structures, resulting in an optimum distribution of flow over all turbines.
